Ensuring environmental stewardship for our community
AUB treats the waste from both industry
and residential customers across the service region. To do so, we operate two separate
wastewater treatment plants. The newly renovated facility, called the Oostanaula Plant,
is located on Alford Street. It is permitted to discharge 6 million gallons
per day with peaks of up to twelve million gallons per day. The other facility, known
as the North Mouse Creek plant, is located
on Whittaker Road and is designed and permitted to treat 1.2 million gallons
per day with peaks of up to 3 million gallons per day.
The Oostanaula Wastewater Treatment Plant, located on Alford Street. Rated for 6
million gallons per day.
